Blackwell and Ingram Digital have signed an agreement giving Blackwell ebook distribution rights to libraries worldwide via Ingram's MyiLibrary® platform, with the exception of the UK and Canada. The deal will allow Blackwell Digital Services customers to discover and order MyiLibrary ebooks via Collection Manager, the Blackwell interface. MyiLibrary currently hosts over 185,000 ebooks and is used by hundreds of academic, public, and professional libraries worldwide.

Additionally, Blackwell's Collection Manager has just been released in a new version, providing sophisticated faceted search capabilities using the Endeca search engine. FRBRized organization of searched titles will allow libraries to see metadata for both print and e-versions of books, including those available from the MyiLibrary platform.
